Howdy,

Actually there are several shareware versions of TeX/LaTeX for the Mac as
well as a commercial version called Textures.  I've used Textures for
several years and it is blindingly fast (even on the 68040 Q650 I use) so
that I can use it real time on shorter documents (i.e., type in a text
window while Textures automatically "compiles" the text into the document
on the fly).

Take a look at <http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/> for more info.

Good Luck,
